Extremely Knowledgeable

Tiffany_k, Nov 2025

Our guide was Extremely Knowledgeable. Very local knowledge and attention to detail of the buildings, art, time periods and lttle known street facts. As a rule, I don't give 5 stars but if I could do 4.5 he would have well earned it. He guided us through a crazy amount of construction (not his fault) and kept a steady pace.

Very good intro to Porto...

Very good intro to Porto and its history. Nuno was really informative, especially about art, architecture, and tiles. Our time passed really quickly because of his stories and personality. His depth and breadth of knowledge was amazing. Would highly recommend to others.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about Porto and Portuguese history. She answered our questions very thoroughly which we appreciated . So also bought us the most Portuguese tarts we have ever tasted!

Great walking tour of wonderful Porto

Vincent_D, May 2023

This was a great walking tour of Porto. Our group was small, which allowed for lots of questions. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable of the history of Porto as well as Portagal in general. I would highly recommend.

Ok

Priya_S, Jun 2022

Unfortunately the tour guid was a little late but the tour itself was OK. At times it felt she lost our attention and wasn’t picking up that we were keen to see particularly spots. But she was helpful in letting us know a few facts about Portugal.

All the highlights covered!

Colin_C, May 2019

Excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Although it was a very hot day, the tour was at a very comfortable pace for us (both in our late 50s). Excellent value!

Allan_J, May 2018

Loved the 10 am one on one walking tour with Ana and to see Porto through her eyes. Ana asked when I arrived, what I had seen and tailored the tour accordingly to show me things I had not seen, or found on the typical tourist route, all the while giving me her personal insights. We walked past the old hospital, an art gallery and restaurant with beautiful views looking down over the city. Continuing on past the photography museum that was a jail, old church, courthouse, palace, old stock exchange, markets, back up to the cathedral, Sao Bento train station with the beautiful tiles that we discussed at length. The old cafe now a McDonalds and bank with an amazing old tiled foyer. Before we knew it was I due for my 3 pm food and wine tasting tour, so Ana called and escorted me to greet them, so I did not miss out. I only wish we had more time to continue talking and sightseeing. I thoroughly recommend the tour and Ana.
